BETA Release

This is the a BETA release. A complete tutorial and instructions on how to use the BLOC-GUI-Miner is coming soon. Please report any issue you may find or improvements by submitting a new issue. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Supported Miners

We currently support two very popular miner backends:

  1. xmr-stak v2.6.0
  2. xmrig v2.8.3 (note: xmrig-nvidia and xmrig-amd are not yet tested

Mining Pools

Mining pools present on the miner are coming from the official BLOC website including official and community pools.

XMR-STAK Settings and configuration

XMR-Stak will save your configuration in config.txt in the same directory from which it was first run.

Your configuration for pools(algorithm to mine, address, port etc) will be saved in pools.txt
The configuration of the device it mines(CPU/AMD/NVIDIA) will be saved in cpu.txt, amd.txt or nvidia.txt, respectively.

Run XMR-Stak again from the same directory to reuse the configuration.

Default Developer Donation

By default, the XMR-STAK will donate 2% of the hashpower (2 minutes in 100 minutes) to XMR-stak developers pool. If you want to change that, edit donate-level.hpp before you build the binaries. We strongly recommend to leave this donation fee at least 1% to help the XMR-stak developers by providing regular updates. To find how to build XMR-STAK on your system follow this guide.

I have my own miner

You are welcome to use your own xmr-stak or xmrig binaries as long as it is the same version compatible with the BLOC GUI Miner available on this page.

Use the standard procedure to compile your favorite miner and place the binaries file inside the miner folder next to the BLOC GUI Miner application. Once you are ready simply double click the BLOC GUI Miner icon to launch the application and start mining.

For the mining stats to display correctly you need to enable the API for each miner by doing the following:

Compiling XMR-STAK with option: -DMICROHTTPD_ENABLE=ON

Ensure you have the following in you config.txt file

"httpd_port" : 16000,

Compiling XMRIG with option: by default -DWITH_HTTPD=ON should be enabled.

Ensure you have the following in you config.json file

"api":{
  "port":16000,
  "access-token":null,
  "worker-id":null
}

Mining Tuning Intensity and threads configuration

XMR-STAK gives too many options for tuning to get the best results out of your hardware. By default the miner creates config file for CPU, NVIDIA and AMD GPU. You can edit the values within these text files and see which works best for your mining hardware. Change the value of intensity, work-size, threads and blocks. You can add more GPUs and also lower the power mode of your CPU.

For more information on Tuning and configuring your hardware in XMR-stak we suggest you to read this guide

Thanks
